Is it that hard to actually read the rules when you sign up?

You can only obtain the lamp from an authorized NEC reseller. It is an OEM lamp made by Ushio exclusively for the NC800/IS8. NEC only sells them in lots of 4. Some NEC dealers will buy the lot of four and then sell them individually at a premium (they are an expensive lamp).

The PCB is required as it contains the lamp data (each lamphouse can have its own lamp and the lamphouse keeps track of the lamp data). Again, that can be obtained from an NEC reseller as a service part. I'm surprised that the you would have a lamphouse without the board.
